Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: Whitby - Wm. Bennison descendants
« on: Friday 08 April 16 19:17 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find the family of my 5th GGF Capt. George Bennison (b. Abt 1750) who came to New York during the Revolution.  All I know is that he was from Yorkshire. I'm assuming possibly Sheffield area. Common names in this family then were George, James, John, Samuel and Edward.  Don't know anything else about him unfortunately.  Were the Bennisons a large family in Yorkshire ?

Somerset / Re: Orchard Family, Somerset, England

I'm descended from the New Brunswick, Canada Orchard family. I'm trying to trace BACK. Also does anyone know WHO came with Robert Orchard to Canada, how and when did they get there ?  I'm descended from  Robert's son John and  Mary Caroline Bennison.   Their daughter Iva Myrtle Orchard was my Great Grandmother.  She married Orland Stanley Dykeman.  Photo is of my GGM and my GM.
